By Agence France-Presse in Birmingham, England | China Daily | Updated: 2013-04-02 07:51

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said Steven Gerrard could play on into his late thirties after the captain inspired his side to a 2-1 win at Aston Villa.

The 32-year-old England skipper completed Liverpool's comeback at Villa Park with a 60th-minute penalty and then produced a crucial goal-line clearance to prevent Christian Benteke from equalizing.

Later, Rodgers revealed that Gerrard had required a pain-killing injection in his heel in order to play, and said it was a mark of his commitment to the club.
